Maintenance

FCR requires a filter for street use. Constant use of a velocity stack is not recommended....

This applies not only to FCRs but to all carburetors in general: going filterless on the street is not recommended. This is because it sucks in debris. I will write a column discussing why it’s better to avoid this and what you should do instead.

Carburetor synchronization is a task that can be considered simple. The challenging part is that the preparation before the task can be a high hurdle for beginners. Once the preparation is complete, most people are able to successfully perform the synchronization on their own.

Work at the rental pit on 2023-03-25 - Installing the FCR and removing the front tire...

This is part of the winter maintenance work on my CBX1000. The plan for today was to replace the vacuum release plate and complete the synchronization work, but due to an easy mistake, I drained the battery. I’ve changed the plan to get the work done up to just before the synchronization and also complete the removal and installation of the tires.

This is a story about when the spark plug gets wet. When the spark plug gets wet, it means that the engine is having a hard time starting and gasoline is sprayed onto the spark plug, making it wet. The same applies if there is oil on the spark plug. It also includes other things like carbon buildup.
